The Beth ha-midrash synagogue ({{langx|he|בית המדרש}}, {{langx|cs|synagoga Bet ha-midraš}}) is a former Jewish synagogue and bet midrash, located in Prostějov, in the Olomouc Region of the Czech Republic.
History
The synagogue was built in 1836 and was used by Jewish community in Prostějov to 1939. In 1951–1963 and 2004–2018, the building was used by orthodox Christian community. In some of the intervening years, the building was used as an art gallery.
